The invitation asked students: are you ready for an exciting adventure in educational design?
For 20 April 2025, the Smart Learning Institute of Beijing Normal University and its partners announced the Future Education Creativity Camp — Eight-Hour Team Project Design with AIGC. The invitation offered a full educational innovation experience: brainstorming topics, building prototypes, exploring design processes and applying AI-generated content tools. Students were encouraged to team up, experiment with emerging technologies and create projects to impress the judges.
Participants registered for the higher education track of the 8th Global Competition on Design for Future Education could join free of charge. The invitation encouraged them to explore future educational design through eight hours of collaborative work.

Archive and source notes
All substantive text and all six original images are retained. Dates are made explicit as 2025. The original Chinese phrase “本科生及研究所” is normalized, from context, to undergraduate and graduate students; eligibility remained subject to the organizers’ rules for that year. The advertised eight hours describes project design; the separately stated 08:30–19:00 timetable is preserved without alteration.
The original April 2025 advance notice contains images from an earlier camp, including a photograph whose backdrop names the 7th competition. They are labelled as archive illustrations. SLI’s report of 27 April 2025 is a separate follow-up confirming the 20 April event, not a replacement for this invitation.
